i think pretty much anything jabbed n juiced can do GBS, at extraordinaire lottery-rates, but yeah that was a real concern given last time america rushed a flu vaccine for that one military fort avian flu outbreak it ended up giving everyone GBS

assuming it's not the tainted jannsen vaccines, i think we'd have heard about more gbs cases by now if it wasn't just an extremely rare thing

Re-enlisted after being shutdown on Thursday for another shot.
Got an appointment after only a couple hours on Friday (via web mail and visiting our county health website), for today (Saturday) mid-day for a Moderna shot, my original desired vaccine that was denied me on Thursday because they "switched it out to J&J." [When they ran out or didn't have enough.]

I showed up on time in the big barn/exhibition room at our County Seat and when I told them I was there for the first shot of Moderna they said that they were holding those for "second shot" folks, as they were afraid that they they would run out.

I had to wait around for about 10 minutes and speak with a "Consultant" for to tell them more then they knew about mRNA, and the science and the fact that I had selected the [x] Moderna shot twice now.

It was brought to another "Consultant" and then they allowed me to get a first shot of Moderna.
So I'm scheduled now for the last day of the month 4/30, to have my second administration.
I don't understand why everything displayed on web screens are inaccurate.
At long last, I'm happy that I have persevered (so far). :raise:

If you have HBO and 40 minutes, this is a pretty good short doc on the Diamond Princess, which covers the outbreak from surprisingly good angles, including class.

Some things I wanna add that the doc didn’t

According to Bob Woodward, Fauci knew in January that COVID was airborne and an actual threat.

When the Americans were evacuated, they were met by crews at the airport who weren’t wearing PPE. When news of that got out on February 27, THAT was the day I knew the US was going to be absolutely hosed

BEIJING (AP) — In a rare admission of the weakness of Chinese coronavirus vaccines, the country’s top disease control official says their effectiveness is low and the government is considering mixing them to give them a boost.

Chinese vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” said the director of the China Centers for Disease Control, Gao Fu, at a conference Saturday in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

Beijing has distributed hundreds of millions of doses in other countries while also trying to promote doubt about the effectiveness of Western vaccines.

“It’s now under formal consideration whether we should use different vaccines from different technical lines for the immunization process,” Gao said.

The effectiveness rate of a coronavirus vaccine from Sinovac, a Chinese developer, at preventing symptomatic infections has been found to be as low as 50.4% by researchers in Brazil. By comparison, the vaccine made by Pfizer has been found to be 97% effective.

Beijing has yet to approve any foreign vaccines for use in China, where the coronavirus emerged in late 2019.

Gao gave no details of possible changes in strategy but mentioned mRNA, a previously experimental technique used by Western vaccine developers while China’s drug makers used traditional technology.

“Everyone should consider the benefits mRNA vaccines can bring for humanity,” Gao said. “We must follow it carefully and not ignore it just because we already have several types of vaccines already.”

Gao previously raised questions about the safety of mRNA vaccines. He was quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency as saying in December he couldn’t rule out negative side effects because they were being used for the first time on healthy people.

Chinese state media and popular health and science blogs also have questioned the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine, which uses mRNA.

As of April 2, some 34 million people have received both of the two doses required by Chinese vaccines and about 65 million received one, according to Gao.

Experts say mixing vaccines, or sequential immunization, might boost effectiveness rates. Trials around the world are looking at mixing of vaccines or giving a booster shot after a longer time period. Researchers in Britain are studying a possible combination of Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines.

that doesn’t seem to be true so far

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states

positive percentage somewhat stable around 5%

that’s not to say I don’t think the variants could have a big impact, they obviously could. I just don’t think we have a lot of good information yet on how vaccinations/previous infection/new mutations interact with each other

As fosborb mentioned positive test being "constant" (actually rising), doesn't mean the number of cases aren't increasing if people change behavior. I posted this two days ago, but for your benefit here it is again:

https://wcyb.com/news/local/local-covid-19-hospitalizations-surge-among-unvaccinated-exceeding-fall-peak posted:

Local COVID-19 hospitalizations surge among unvaccinated, exceeding fall peak

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Local hospitals are reopening more COVID-19 wards as a troubling fourth wave of cases hits our region.

Hospitalizations shot up dramatically, doubling from a low of 60 three weeks ago, and now up 30 percent in just one day to nearly 130.


Ballad Health COVID-19 hospitalizations through April 7, 2021. (WCYB Graphic)

Health experts are surprised it's increased so fast. Cases haven't risen nearly as much.

“There is far more disease in our community than the positive cases are picking up,” Ballad Health chief infection prevention officer Jamie Swift said. “I think people aren't getting tested. I think there's a lot of people that assume their symptoms are related to allergies.”


New COVID-19 cases each day for Carter, Greene, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington Counties in Tennessee; Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington and Wise Counties and the cities of Bristol and Norton in Virginia; and Harlan, Leslie and Letcher Counties in Kentucky. Red line is the 14-day moving average. Yellow line is Ballad Health's recommended level to control the spread: an average of 5 new cases per day per 100,000 people over the last 14 days. (WCYB Graphic)

Ballad Health now projects a peak around 160 hospitalizations. We've already surpassed the fall surge, but with 20 percent of the region fully vaccinated, Ballad officials don't expect it to be nearly as bad as during the winter.

It's younger people who just became eligible for the shots fueling the rise. The unvaccinated and people in between their first and second dose are now getting sick.

“We've got 30 year olds, 40 year olds, 50 year olds, 60 year olds in the hospital this week,” Swift said.

Ballad chief operating officer Eric Deaton said Monday he’s worried whether nurses can handle the additional stress and trauma.

“We have activated our behavioral health units to continue to meet with our team members on a weekly basis to understand if they're having any burnout or other issues,” Deaton said.

Health officials said this surge is mostly due to spring break trips and people largely no longer wearing masks.

Just 30 percent of our region has taken at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and demand is down in Northeast Tennessee. It pushed the Tri-Cities vaccination rate to drop below the national rate for the first time Thursday.

Health experts hope it's a wake-up call to get more people vaccinated.

“If they see the numbers, if they realize, 'I need to make the time. This needs to be a priority. I need to get my vaccine,' we really can turn this around,” Swift said.

Iowa's at about 37% first shot and I don't think we're hitting a wall yet on vaccines because the major cities/blue areas of the state are still tracking at the same percentage of jabs as the overall state numbers. Once they start to pull ahead by a few percentage points then I think that'll be a sign that we're petering out.

I clearly underestimated the percentage of people that are happy to get jabbed but only if it is made extremely convenient for them to do so, though. I feel like that's turning out to be a good third of adults. They're waiting for a clinic to pull up to their work or for it to be available as a walk in at the pharmacy and poo poo like a normal flu shot.
